The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School
by Sonora Reyes (Versify, 2022); audiobook read by Karla Serrato (HarperCollins, 2022)
The self-sabotage feels a little contrived, but in all other respects this is a tour de force. Reyes does her themes proud—found family, queer identity, racial and religious prejudice—yet does so within a wider, welcoming celebration of hope and romance.
